How To Make maple baked golden pears

Step 1

Arrange the pears cut-side up in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Whisk the apple juice and syrup in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until the syrup dissolves. Whisk in the butter.

Step 2

Pour the sauce over the pears, and sprinkle them with the chopped nuts.
Step 3

Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven until the pears are tender and beginning to brown, basting occasionally with the juices, for about 35 minutes.
Step 4

Serve with vanilla bean ice cream, if desired.
